Speeding motorcyclist caught at Munno Para West

About 9.50am today (Saturday 18 October) police were travelling north on the Northern Expressway at Penfield Gardens when a motorcycle overtook the unmarked police vehicle.

Officers then recorded the rider at 155km/h in a 110km/h zone, as it dangerously wove in and out of traffic.

The rider was later stopped on Francesca Boulevard at Munno Para West.

The 58-year-old man from Peterhead underwent a driver screening test and returned a positive result to methamphetamine.

He was reported for excessive speed and driving at a dangerous speed.

He was issued an immediate loss of licence for 12 months and his motorcycle was impounded for 28 days. He will be summonsed to attend court at a later date and may face further penalties once his drug sample has been forensically analysed.
